People who don't pay attention to the question of justification are often rather uninteresting, in my opinion. I am most fascinated by characters who struggle with the demands of justification.

Take Bach or Schubert: Their music was dedicated to God but filled and shaped their worldly lives. If you are a committed atheist, you lean back and miss all the richness of that history.

You cannot spend two thousand years trying to understand God and then simply abandon the question and declare that we’re not interested in it anymore.

I believe that the most important condition for faith is sensitivity to beauty.

It is only true love when you have no choice. Love is the most highly valued disease that is identified by the symptom of You-can´t-help-it.

As an atheist, you cannot fully make sense of the music, you have no explanation for the perennial motion and rhythm.

Those who use language and have nothing but language to express themselves live in a cage that cannot feel comfortable.

Everything direct is positive, everything indirect is negative.

If you cannot live without justification, you cannot live; period. And the path towards it is the path of language.

Once you have awakened to the question of faith, you cannot simply return to your everyday agenda like a committed atheist could. You cannot retreat to the comforts of atheism.

You cannot simply discard God like a box that has been emptied.

You're not a priority if you're an option, you are a percentage. A percentage of that other person's time and effort. The size of the pie never changes, the slices do.

If we give a hundred percent in whatever we do in life, practice one art form and pursue one sport, we eventually tend to evolve truly as ‘A Complete Man (or Woman)’.

Morality often involves tension within the group motivated by competition between different groups.

I don't go by the rule book-I lead from the heart not the head.

That’s right, I’m crazy. But, I don’t ever want to go back to being of sound mind again. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to. Because as crazy as I may get, I only have eyes for Ju Yoo Rin.

As much as the needs of fact, the needs of the spirit and the senses, must be satisfied. Architecture is as much a part of the realm of art as it is of technology; the fusion of thinking and feeling.

I have wandered many roads that I have never traveled; touched many things that my eyes have never seen. It is through stories that life is made, and through stories that life is saved.

In music, you feel a connection to the voice and think about the person behind it. In art that's secondary.

I'm supporting anything that we can do to find out how this stuff is happening.
